'Harry' - Thoughts

Harry - Flashback

(Harry)- modern thought on the flashback


Number 4, Privet Drive; July 1st

I was on my bed staring up at the ceiling, thinking about what I'd learned in the past year. I still couldn't believe that my parents were still alive. It was so much to take in, but still, why couldn't they came and get me? Didn't they care about me? I stopped myself from thinking anything else along those lines as I remembered the end of the of the Triwizard Tournament.

Flashback

A newly reborn Voldemort raised his wand at me, but I was prepared for it. Using the sharp reflexes born and honed though Quidditch training, I flung myself behind the nearest marble headstone. 'Ew,' I thought as I realized that it was Voldemort's father gravestone. When I heard it crack, I sighed in relief. That meant the curse missed me.

"We are not playing hide-and-seek, Harry," said the sick, twisted Fruitloop in a soft cold voice that sent shivers up my spine. (Wait, Fruitloop? Where did that come from? Never mind, but, it fit somehow). "You cannot hide from me. Does this mean you are tired of our duel? Does this mean that you would prefer me to finish it now, Harry? Come out, Harry... come out and play, ... it will be quick... it might even be painless... I would not know... I have never died..."

I remained crouched behind the headstone just wishing to myself that I could turn invisible, but as I felt death marching towards me, I understood one thing. I sure as hell wasn't going to die like a sacred little kid. If I was going down, I was going down fighting like my parents, and I was NOT going to give in. I. AM. A. POTTER. And no Potter worth his wand would hide like a coward in the face of darkness incarnate.

Before the Fruitloop could stick his nose-less, snakelike face around the headstone, I stood up and gripped my wand tightly in my hand. I put it out in front of me and threw myself around the headstone to face my arch-enemy. He was momentary stunned for a few milliseconds, but recovered quickly enough. We both cast our spells. I cast "Expelliarmus," the disarming jinx. The Fruitloop cast "Avada Kedavra,"the killing curse.

What happened next was nothing short of magical. Our two spells met in midair and my wand started vibrating like one of those massage chairs. My hand seized up around it so I couldn't let go, and the beam that was connecting our wands had turned a bright, deep gold. My eyes followed the beam, and I saw that the Fruitloop was experiencing the same thing. I couldn't help but smirk at the look on his face.

Then my feet lifted themselves off the ground. (I would have thought it was bloody awesome if I wasn't so terrified.) The Fruitloop and I were both three feet in the air, our wands still connected by the shining gold light. We were guided away from the tomb-stones by an unseen force, and both of us were dropped unceremoniously on a patch of ground clear of graves. The Death Eaters were shouting and running around like chickens with their heads cut off, asking Voldemort for instructions. (Could these people EVER think for themselves?) they closed around us and formed a circle. I stared at the Fruitloop's pet snake as it slithered at the heels of the Death Eaters. (Why couldn't that Fruitloop have a normal pet, like a cat or something?) Some of them were drawing their wands and pointing them at me, but the golden thread connecting our two wands splintered into about a thousand more beams. Somehow our wands remained connected though. Not that I was really paying attention, since I was too busy looking at the newly formed beams of light. I watched as the beams started to move on there own, arching high over us and crisscrossing until we looked like we were in a giant dome-shaped, butterfly net. Outside the dome was the Death Eaters still circled around us, though their cries were strangely muffled.

"Do nothing!" Voldemort shrieked to his followers. I was stunned to see his red eyes wide with astonishment as he kept trying to break the connection between my wand and his. In response, I held on more tightly so the main golden beam remained unbroken. "Do nothing unless I command you!" He spoke again to his followers.

Then every molecule of air filled with the most beautiful and unearthly music. It came from every thread of magic around us, and I instantly recognized it, for how could I ever forget Fawkes' song... the one thing that gave me hope in The Chamber of Secrets that I would come back alive. I felt as though the song was coming from inside of me, instead of from the golden dome... and it was a sound I associated with hope, piece, and Dumbledore. It felt like an old friend was whispering in my ear.

Don't break the connection.

I know, I told the music, but after I did that Murphy's law took effect it became much harder to keep the connection going. My wand began to vibrate more powerfully than ever, I felt like I was holding a live python… And that wasn't all. The beam that connected our wands changed too. It looked like beads of light were sliding back and forth across the gold stream. I felt my wand give a strong shudder as the light beads slid slowly and steadily towards my wand. As the beads got closer and closer, my wand got hotter and hotter. I suddenly felt like it could spontaneously combust at any second. As the bead got closer, my wand vibrated harder. I was sure that it wouldn't survive the contact. It already felt like it was going to shatter under my fingers.

In the hopes of preventing my wand from blowing up, I concentrated every last particle of my mind on forcing the bead back toward Voldemort. My ears were full of the phoenix's song, my eyes were furious and fixed… and slowly, very slowly, the beads quivered to a stop, and then, just as slowly, they began to move the other way towards Voldemort. Now it was his wand vibrating extra-hard, and I when I looked back at him, he looked astonished, almost scared…

One of the beads of light was quivering, inches from the tip of Voldemort's wand. I didn't really understand why I was doing it, and I definly didn't know what it might achieve… but I now concentrated as I have never done in my life on forcing that small bead of light right back into Voldemort's wand… and slowly… very slowly… it moved along the golden thread… it trembled for a moment… and then it connected…

At once, Voldemort's wand began to emit echoing screams of pain… then [The Fruitloop's red eyes were wide with shock] a dense, smoky hand flew out of the tip of it and vanished… the ghost of the hand he had made Wormtail cut off … more shouts of pain… and then something much larger began to blossom from Voldemort's wand tip, a great, grayish something, that looked as though it were made of the solidest, densest smoke… It was a head… now a chest and arms… the torso of Cedric Diggory.

If I ever would have released my wand from shock, it would have been then, but instinct kept me clutching my wand tightly, so that the thread of golden light remained unbroken, even though the thick gray ghost of Cedric Diggory emerged in its entirety from the end of Voldemort s wand, as though it were squeezing itself out of a very narrow tunnel… and this shade of Cedric stood up, and looked up and down the golden thread of light, and spoke.

"Hold on Harry," he said.

His voice was distant and echoing. I looked at Voldemort and I saw his red eyes were still wide with shock… he had no more expected this than I had… and, very dimly I heard the frightened yells of the Death Eaters, prowling around the edges of the golden dome… More screams of pain came from the wand… and then something else emerged from its tip… the dense shadow of a second head, quickly followed by arms and torso… an old man I had seen only in a dream was now pushing himself out of the end of the wand just as Cedric had done… and his ghost, or his shadow, or whatever it was, fell next to Cedric's, and surveyed Voldemort and me, and the golden web, and the connected wands, with mild surprise, leaning on his walking stick…

"He was a real wizard, then?" the old man said, his eyes on Voldemort. "Killed me, that one did… You fight him, boy…"

But already, yet another head was emerging… and this head, gray as a smoky statue, was a woman's… both my arms shaking with effort as I fought to keep my wand still, I saw her drop to the ground and straighten up like the others, staring… The shadow of Bertha Jorkins surveyed the battle before her with wide eyes.

"Don't let go, now!" she cried, and her voice echoed like Cedric's as though from very far away. "Don't let him get you, Harry - don't let go!"

She and the other two shadowy figures began to pace around the inner walls of the golden web, while the Death Eaters flitted around the outside of it… and Voldemort's dead victims whispered as they circled the duelers, whispering words of encouragement to me, and hissing words I couldn't hear to Voldemort. And now another head was emerging from the tip of Voldemort's wand… Time stopped... I blinked, everything had stopped moving, not even the shadows that came out of the wand were, and the wands themselves were frozen like everything else.

"This is sooo weird," I thought. I looked down at myself and saw something that made that moment the weirdest moment of my short life so far. I was wearing a necklace of some kind. It was rather clock-like and had a stylized CW embossed on it. I was just thinking about letting go of my wand when I heard.

"I would not do that, young Harry," I nearly jumped out of my skin, I was so surprised, but seeing who told me that surprised me even more. The guy was FLOATING of all things, he had green skin, a staff, and a rich purple cloak (now that I think about it was Dumbledore's favorite color... maybe they know each other), red pupil-less eyes [in a non-evil way] with a scar near one of them.

"Who are you, What are you, Why are you here?" I asked in rapid secession. My mind was reeling from everything that was happening right then.

The being chuckled, and replied,"Curious boy, aren't you? Well, young Harry, my name is Clockwork, and I am an aspect or a ghost as you will. More specifically, the aspect of Time, and as to why I am here, I am here to save you like I did your parents thirteen years ago."

"YOU'RE LYING" I yelled, not believing it. My parents were dead, not saved. Who was he to lie about their fate?

The ghost, or aspect, or whatever he called himself just looked at me sadly and said,"I know you don't believe me," (I snorted) "but everything I said is true. Do you want proof?"

I looked at him, the twinkle in his red eyes reminded me of Professor Dumbledore's and with that realization, I started to trust him a little more. I stated," Okay, prove it if you can."(very stupid thing to say to anyone who reminds you of Dumbledore)

He smiled and his eyes twinkled brighter. I watched as he floated over to Voldemort's wand and carefully touched it with his staff. The result was instantaneous, the wands started to move forward in time, but at much faster rate then before. Then a head appeared and the rest of the body quickly followed. When the body came out completely, another followed right after. When he took off his staff, the wands stopped moving forward.

He then took out two semi-transparent necklaces, that looked liked the one I was wearing currently. As he got ready to place them on the shadows, I looked closely at them, at first they seemed to be my parents, but when I took an even closer look I noticed some small differences. The woman, had a squarer face, and a smaller nose then my mom. The man had higher cheekbones, a more rounded face, and a nose that was a little bit bigger then my Dad's.

He then took out two semi-transparent necklaces that looked a lot like the one I was wearing currently. As he got ready to place them on the shadows, I looked at them. At first they seemed to be my parents, but when I looked closely, I noticed some small differences. The woman, had a squarer face, and a smaller nose then my mom. The man had higher cheekbones, a more rounded face, and a nose that was a little bit bigger then my dad's.

When Clockwork placed the two necklaces on the shadows, they unfroze and started moving. The first thing they did was look down at themselves, and I saw a ghost of a smile form on their faces when they saw the necklaces. They looked up and gazed around as if searching for something. Then they saw Clockwork, they got huge grins and said in unison,"Hey Clockwork."

Clockwork smiled and stated,"Good evening, Madeline and Jack, I see death hasn't dampened your spirits."

The woman, Madeline said,"Of course not, we chose to replace Lily and James Potter. I was dying anyway, so for me at least, Voldemort did me a favor by killing me. It was a lot less painful to die of the Killing Curse than of brain cancer."

The knowledge made my head spin. Mom, and Dad are alive and everyone thought they were dead because these two people gave up their lives in their place! I called out in a lower voice now,"Sir, Will Mom and Dad come looking for me?"

"Of course Harry, the only reason they haven't done so already is because I told them not to, due to the fact Lily needed to complete her research. When the research is compete, not only will she come to find you but she will have gained valuable insight on the nature of the Killing Curse, so people can create a shield against it." Clockwork stated.

I looked at him, "You know already, don't you?"

His grin got bigger, "That's right, but I can't tell people directly. I can only give a person the right clues and take them to the right path, but it is up to them to follow it. Your Mother is one of the brightest witches of her age. You know, that's why I gave her the clues, and not someone else. Now Harry, we are wasting time. Now quickly break the connection and go to Cedric Diggory's body. Grab the Triwizard cup on the way. When you get there, hold on to the body and the cup at the same time, and I will take off your Time Medallion. When I am finished altering the Death Eaters' and Voldemort's memories, I will restart time and the Portkey will activate, sending you back to school. Just to let you know, your parents should show up on or before your birthday. They're bringing a surprise as well.

"Uh, didn't you just say you can't tell people stuff directly?" I asked surprised at the quickness and upfront-ness of the orders.

"I am in a hurry Harry. I can only keep time frozen for so long before The Observers notice and I would prefer to keep them in the dark about this," Clockwork said in a very annoyed tone

"Why?" I asked, curious about who would make him act like this.

"Because they're annoying, and they get on my nerves. That's all I'm going to say," He spoke in a no-nonsense tone that almost sounded like Aunt Petunia.

I nodded. That tone practically screamed "get going!" I started to do as I was told. I...

End Flashback

*Crash* I jumped and my ears turned to the noise.

"Daniel Sirius Fenton be careful with that lab equipment!" I snickered, someone is in trouble, but the voice is familiar and I wonder briefly why the boy's middle name matches my godfather's name, Sirius Black.

"Sorry Mom, I'll pick up, don't worry," I heard a young male voice say in an American accent. Curious about what was going on, I got up and went to my window. What I saw surprised me.

The street in front of the house was packed with moving trucks, someone was moving into the house across the street. The one that had stood empty since before I was born. I was a little curious about this. It wasn't everyday you got new people in Little Whinging. I wondered if it's possible to go out and talk, or listen to them, but in order to pass I would have to be invisible... UGH! I can't believe I forgot about the Invisibility Cloak.

I found my school trunk and dug through it. I found my Invisibility Cloak under my copy of "A History of Magic," and I put it on just as I heard my Aunt's shrill voice call out to my Uncle about our new neighbors. I opened my door carefully and slipped out quickly and quietly. I slowly tiptoed down the hall to the stairs. I held my breath and pressed myself against the wall as Uncle Vernon walked up the staircase loudly complaining about... well everything from the movers to me. Hmm, I'd never heard him say so many words in one go, he must have needed to vent. Then I rushed down the staircase as fast as I could while still making no noise, and I was out the door in a flash.

Outside was a mess. With the moving boxes everywhere and the two moving vans, it was like a small maze... and was that an armored car? I navigated the maze in the direction of the house, and as I went through, I saw the insides of the boxes. The contents looked like they belonged in a mad scientist's lab. There were beakers of pretty much every size, gun-like objects with glowing green goop in them, and various other devices that would make Mr. Weasley jump for joy.

I got through it all rather quickly, and I reached the door only to discover a rather large man in an kill-me-orange spandex jumpsuit arguing with the movers. It took everything I had not to burst out laughing at the sight. After I got myself under control, I started to paying attention to what they were saying.

"You're finished unloading, so can you please leave? We can do the rest ourselves,"the large man said.

"Mr. Fenton, it is against company legislation to leave without finishing everything, as I've told you three times already," said an exasperated mover man.

The newly revealed Mr. Fenton said, "I'm sorry, but a lot of our equipment is highly sensitive. I'd be much more comfortable if you'd leave it to me and my family."

"Okay, okay, you've made your point. Just don't tell our company that we did this."

"Of course we won't, now get moving so we can do our part," Mr. Fenton said. At this I decided to take a closer look at Mr. Fenton. At first he reminded me of the shade of the person who replaced Dad when Voldemort attacked. It made me suspicious, but the closer I looked, the more that didn't seem right. "That's not Mr. Fenton," I thought and with that the illusion disappeared. I saw a much fatter version of my Dad. "That's odd, still doesn't confirm anything though," I thought

When the mover left, "Mr. Fenton" went inside his house and I followed close behind. I slipped in front when he turned around to close the door. After he closed the door he headed towards the staircase (probably to get his family), we both heard a voice yell, "Danny come back here!" The Danny in question was running as fast as his legs could carry him down the stairs and away from the voice's owner.

He called out, "Quick Dad hide me! Mom's trying to put MAKE-UP on my scar!" His voice matched the male voice from earlier, so I took a closer look at him so I could put a face with the voice. What I saw surprised me. He was a teen around my age, and he looked like he could be my brother, or twin. He had the same messy black-hair, and his face matched mine (minus the scar on my forehead, glasses, and green eyes) and when I looked down at his hands I noticed something that made me give a small gasp. He had a scar, one that looked exactly like mine on the back of his left hand. "This is too weird," I thought to myself. But at least I knew what he was talking about. "Maybe I could hide my scar with make-up too." Somehow, I could feel my spirits raise at the thought of hiding my stupid scar.

"Mr. Fenton" looked at Danny and said, "Now, Son I know you don't want to," Danny snorted, "but you have to do this. If anyone sees that scar before we're ready to reveal the truth, there would be a lot of questions that we can't answer right now. No one should see it until we get in contact with Dumbledore and after Lily hexes him for leaving your brother with your aunt... well if we can get in contact with him before you and your brother's birthday, she won't do it, but anyway I'll make it up to you later if you do this now. And I have a favor to ask. I heard about the pranks you did at school," The boy paled considerably, "NO, NO your not in trouble for it. I am actually proud of them," The boy looked confused, "No don't give me that look. When I went to Hogwarts, I was one of the biggest pranksters in the school with my best friends Remus, Sirius, and Peter(he spat out the last name). We also became illegal Animagi to help Remus on the Full moon. I'm a Stag, Sirius is a dog, and Peter(again spat out) is a Rat, in more ways then one. But anyway, I want you to pull a prank on your aunt and uncle. I can't do it because Clockwork's bound mine and Lily's magic until you and your brother turn 15. And I know your magic's bound too, but you're good at doing pranks with out it, so please."

"Bloody Hell! That was my DAD! He had to be, only Sirius, my dad, Remus, Ron, Hermione, Dumbledore, and Peter know that 3/4ths of The Marauders are Illegal Animagi. So Danny is my brother... MERLIN I HAVE A BROTHER! Oh crap, I hope he likes me! But is my brother(Merlin, this will take some getting used to) a Prankster like dad was?... Wait dumb question..." I thought until my thoughts became incoherent. My last coherent thought before my brain shut down was "At least now I know the surprise Clockwork was talking about" despite the turmoil my inner battle was causing me, it was unknown to my newly discovered family in front of me, and their conversation went on unhindered.

"Alright Dad, you win," Danny sighed, "but you own me big, letting me prank my sister big. I'll let Mom put make-up on me, but pranking my Aunt and Uncle... (Danny grinned evilly) I'm not sure I even had to ask, but my idea requires you to blast them with an ecto-gun when they run out, got it?"

Dad nodded his head in agreement and Danny went slowly back up the stairs. A few minutes later he came back down the stairs, and went out the door. By then I was slightly more aware of the situation, but I was still frozen to the spot. I watched Dad bring stuff from the yard inside the house and I saw him bring out one of those gun-like objects I saw earlier. It must've been the Ecto-gun my brother (still odd to think) was talking about. I still wish I could see Mom, and the sister my brother mentioned, but a high pitched scream brought me out of my frozen state and I ran to the nearest window and Dad took aim.

Outside I saw my Aunt, Uncle, and cousin running like there was no tomorrow.. well my Aunt was running the other two were waddling. Then, I watched as a glowing flying clump of goo the color of a killing curse flew at my legal guardians. It hit it's targets and the screaming became louder as they became covered in the green substance. I watched as they they crammed into their car and drove away. It was so funny, but I knew after something like that I couldn't keep my cover up much longer. I walked out the open door and I passed by Danny outside as I headed back to my Aunt's house.

As I walked back to the house under the cloak, my mind was reeling, and my lungs were bursting with barely contained laughter. That was hilarious! And Dad's add on made it so much sweeter! Who knew Green goo could come in handy?

When I got to the door, I took a quick peak inside. What I saw made my jaw drop. I knew Danny pranked our aunt and uncle, don't get me wrong, but this was worthy of the Weasley Twins. Everything was covered in a thin layer of solid ice from the floor to the furniture. It left me wondering, how did he do it without magic? I went up the staircase slowly to avoid slipping on the ice and went to my room, laughing whole-heartedly.

When I got to my room, I sat down to write letters to Sirius, Ron, and Hermione to explain what I learned last year and just now. I also wanted to tell them about the prank Danny did, Dad's add-on, and I wanted to ask Sirius what he thought of me eavesdropping on the people I know now as my parents, brother, and big sis. Lastly, I put a request in Sirius's letter for him to tell Dumbledore that, for some reason, my brother had the same scar as me. The difference was that his was on the back of his hand. I wanted to know how it was possible if he wasn't even there when Voldemort attacked. When I finished the letters, I gave them to Hedwig to send to my friends and godfather (I wondered how he would take the news of my brother being named after him) After that I sat on my bed to wait.


Sorry this was late, I got distracted by good stories that I wanted to read, and summer started so I went swimming so sorry and I got a new game for my B-day which is on the 17th of July that I wanted to play and my mom is making me find a job so sorry.

Uga FINALLY Harry's final Ghost-Form is... *Drum Rolls*

A HASMAT Suit that is a mix between Danny and Dani's suits (two pieces but no weird cuts OR skin showing)

Ruby red boots and Gloves(not attached to suit)

Main body Black with a White stripe on the left side of the Pants part and white belt

Symbol - Emerald Green oval with a Gold HP outlined in black to make it 3D looking and the HP is the same one in the movies

Snow-white Hair and glowing Sliver eyes (gold goggles for his eyes if you want him still be legally blind) I picked Sliver not Blue because I didn't want him to look like Jack Frost

If you want you can draw Harry in ghost form just send me a PM and a link so I can comment and if you do a good job I MIGHT make it the cover art to incress the likely hood draw Danny in ghost form as well with the wands but I will need to do wand research because Harry's wand won't work as well as it used to so he needs a second core in his, and Danny needs a wand, period

Now big Questions time

1) Do you want Harry to have perfect vision in ghost form or will he need the goggles

2) Ghost form Scar or No Scar (Harry's Horcox is destroyed by becoming half-ghost and Danny getting his Magic unlocked)

3) When should Danielle come to become sable and should she join Hogwarts afterwords

Just to let you I maybe on long Hindus, I am trying to go in to Job Core and there is really not a lot of free time I am going to have if i get in but I will NEVER abandon this story it just be slower on the update, but next chapter is probably the one you all be waiting for Harry meets Danny for real and no cloke between them this time and the powers are relised and expect alot of embersing intagble moments.
